In depth
Verdict
Plenty of deadwood in this, but if Alsahib is fit enough after his lay off, he is normally reliable. He has a little bit to do on these terms with a couple of his rivals, noteably Miracle Island and Count De Money. The latter has yet to convince over this trip so the danger should be Miracle Island, who wasn't beaten far in a better race than this at Redcar. Although he has form over course and distance, Tellion is not one to rely on.
